Own Up
Looking to the past
I see how and why I ran so fast
It was hard to face the pain
But no longer could I live my life in vain
Some things were wrong
And few were right
Tonight I must own up
No one can take this fall
It was ment for me
So now I must leave
I can not make a brighter future
If I can’t face my dark past
All I can do
Is hope to make things right
But that will not be up to me
Not tonight
Forgiveness
Is so hard to find
But in my heart
I carry regret
So I ask of you
Let me carry this regret
So you can let go of the pain
I was the one
That should have been locked in chains
Instead of leaveing you
To take the blame
I ran away
Left it all behind
But now its time
I broke the hearts of many
This I know is true
Know in your heart
I never ment
To do that to you
